When looking for a BRG, be sure to look at rooms other than the cheapest ones. For one of my stays, I couldn't find a lower price anywhere on the cheapest room, but the Executive room was cheaper on Expedia, and with the BRG beating the price by 25%, it will make it cheaper than the standard room. It's a refundable room, so I booked it and submitted the BRG claim and will report back with results.

I had a reader or two send me comments or messages that they would not count based on what a Club Carlson supervisor had told him, so I did include a warning that he had been told that, but there are far more positive reports than negative. I have a BRG reservation myself and am not at all worried about it counting.

The forum is getting busier with all these new promos and it would be nice to have a larger pool of property reviews like the other hotel forums on FT.

Emailed 2x and got nothing
I booked a stay at the Radisson San Jose Airport and did not get any points/BNG bonus. The reservation isn't even showing up on my Club Carlson account as a "previous stay". I asked the front desk at check in and check out to double check that my Club Carlson number had been inputted.
Emailed Carlson twice and didn't get any replies. Called them today and got redirected 3 times before my lunch break was over. Any suggestions on how I should pursue this issue?
